If you have technical difficulties, try using an alternate browser (Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, etc.). If problems persist, contact IT to get additional training or to find out how to change your settings. Although I manage the materials on the site I am not in a position to resolve technical problems, and you will be expected to submit items on time.
